THE CHILLING NEW BOOK FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR, HOWARD SOUNES THAT SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON THE FRED & ROSE WEST MURDER INVESTIGATIONS

Thirty years since the death of Fred West and the conviction of his wife Rose, in 1995, the West murder case exerts a magnetic fascination for true crime listeners. The Wests claimed twelve victims, young women and girls including members of their own family. Nine mutilated bodies were found buried under their home at 25 Cromwell St, Gloucester, the so-called House of Horrors.

Author Howard Sounes wrote the first major book about this extraordinary case, Fred & Rose, having broken stories about the investigation as a journalist. As well as being the first to use this title, which has been much copied since, he was the first to use the phrase House of Horrors, and has become the leading expert in the West case. He is the presenter of a hit podcast series about the murders; and Senior Producer on the new series for Netflix, Fred & Rose West: A British Horror Story, which he also features in. While his first book, Fred & Rose stands as a true crime classic, Sounes's new book - The Fred West Tapes - sheds wholly new light on the investigation, bringing listeners into the interview room as detectives quizzed Fred West. The Fred West Tapes will draw a new generation and a global audience to the case.

The Fred West Tapes incorporates remarkable new evidence and primary source testimony, including the experiences of the West children and victim families. With never-before-seen and heard testimony and evidence, this is a fascinating journey into the twisted mind of serial killer Fred West and his marriage to Rose, his partner in crime.
